China wants AI in expanded trade deal with Australia
Strengthening ties between Chinese and Australian artificial intelligence researchers could be on the agenda when the prime minister visits China this week, as Beijing seeks to capitalise on trade tensions with the US. With President Donald Trump's tariffs straining relations with Australia's traditionally closest ally, China's top diplomat in Australia Xiao Qian has called for greater collaboration in fields like AI, healthcare and green energy under a revised free-trade deal between the two nations. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's visit to China on Saturday comes as the Sino-Australian relationship continues to build following a downturn in relations under former Liberal prime minister Scott Morrison. "China and Australia are natural partners with complementary economic strengths," Mr Xiao wrote in an opinion piece published in the Australian Financial Review on Monday. "Standing at a new historical starting point, now is the time to advance bilateral relations with steady progress." Trade volumes between the two nations have bounced back after China lifted sanctions on Australian exports. The ambassador believes Mr Albanese's visit marks an opportunity to broaden the terms of the 10-year-old free-trade agreement. "We are willing to review the agreement with a more open attitude and higher standard, further consolidate co-operation in traditional areas such as agriculture and mining, and actively explore new growth areas in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, healthcare, green energy, and the digital economy, elevating practical co-operation to new heights," Mr Xiao wrote. The promotion of AI ties, amid the Albanese government's agenda to boost productivity, follows similar provisions in recently signed trade deals between Australia and partners such as Singapore, the UK and the UAE. These clauses encourage sharing AI research and commercialisation opportunities between the countries, as well as promoting its responsible use. There are attractive opportunities to deepen research collaboration in the fundamental science of AI, even though there are challenges to expanding the use of Chinese AI programs in Australia, said UNSW Professor Toby Walsh. "It's going to be very hard for us to have too deep relationships within terms of AI, because you can touch upon things like data sovereignty and various other things that we value," the AI expert told AAP. "It's not like just sending them gold and they take it, and that's the end of the partnership. "Sharing technologies like AI could pose significant national security and other risks." Allowing Chinese tech companies access to the Australian market has been a sore spot in the bilateral relationship. In 2018, then-Liberal prime minister Malcolm Turnbull banned the Chinese tech giant Huawei from developing 5G infrastructure in Australia over concerns the Chinese government could force the company to hand over Australians' data or interfere with the network. The decision prompted strenuous protests from Beijing and was a factor behind a subsequent diplomatic fallout. Prof Walsh said there were still areas where collaboration could be beneficial without forfeiting Australian security. "It's about exchanging people, it's training, it's us going to work with them and them coming to work with us," he said. "So it's things that we've always done in terms of scientific exchange, supercharging our science, supercharging their science, and then building our own business off the back of that scientific knowledge. "China will be interested in partnering with us. "We have wonderful medical data, and we have a joined-up healthcare system. "There's huge value in those national data sets we have that no one else has." As the US drives a wedge through a fragmenting global order, Mr Xiao framed China as a like-minded partner for Australia - one that shares Australia's interests in pushing back against unilateralism and protectionism. China is willing to work with Australia to strengthen multilateral organisations like the United Nations and ASEAN, safeguard regional peace and the international rules-based order, and advocate for free trade, the ambassador said. Assistant Trade Minister Matt Thistlethwaite said the government was seeking to strengthen access to China - Australia's largest trading partner - in the best interests of Australians.

Cracking the Ceiling
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. For decades, gender parity in the workplace has been the subject of discussion, debate, and data. But despite years of targeted initiatives, executive pledges, and shifting public discourse, women remain underrepresented in senior roles across most industries - particularly in science and technology. One executive who has seen both the limitations and the potential of change from inside the C-suite is Tara McGeehan, President of CGI UK and Australia, a London based global IT and business consulting services firm. "Throughout my career, I have learnt that as women, we often subconsciously put limitations on ourselves for a variety of reasons," she says. "I have also learnt that sometimes limitations are put upon us outside of our comprehension or ability to control." These barriers - both internal and systemic - remain a defining feature of the female professional experience. Yet McGeehan argues that meaningful progress begins with the choices made at the very outset of a woman's career, specifically, where and with whom she chooses to work. "For women looking to start a career, it is important to work for a company that emulates and reflects your values," she advises. "Does it already employ role models you can look up to and learn from? Will it inspire you? Can you see yourself thriving and developing in your career there?" McGeehan advocates for a level of scrutiny on employers that is often reserved for applicants. In an increasingly talent-led labour market, she believes candidates should feel empowered to ask hard questions. "Ask yourself these questions or better still, ask them at the interview stage and see if it's the right fit for you. You want to work in a comfortable, supportive, and inclusive environment that supports you in your growth and success." The ability to thrive in such an environment, she notes, is also tied to confidence and communication. Speaking up, particularly early in one's career, can be a challenge. But for McGeehan, it is essential. "Once you have secured your first role, I'd encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas. Diverse talent creates diverse ideas. This, in turn, pushes boundaries and innovation." Innovation, she suggests, is not the product of a singular vision, but of collective input from across levels and backgrounds. "It's important to have strong female voices across the whole business, be it those in leadership positions or those in their first professional role." Despite improvements in representation, McGeehan remains clear-eyed about the distance still to go. "There's still a long way to go in tackling the glass ceiling, and so none of us, regardless of our role, can afford to let up in our efforts to make our industry as diverse, equitable, and inclusive as it absolutely must be." That sense of shared responsibility - at all levels - is a consistent theme in her commentary. While individual advancement is important, collective advocacy remains central to progress. So too does ambition, often viewed with discomfort or suspicion when expressed by women in the workplace. McGeehan is unequivocal: such ambition is not only acceptable, it is necessary. "My final piece of advice is that it's okay to aspire to a successful career as a woman," she says. "If you have the ambition and the drive, and are working with a company that embraces this, there's no reason why you shouldn't achieve it." Her words suggest a quiet but resolute optimism: that change is possible, but not inevitable. It must be built - consciously, collaboratively, and continuously.

Commonwealth Bank reveals major payment change for 7 million customers
Commonwealth Bank will roll out a new payment option for seven million customers next month. Mastercard's Click To Pay allows you to pay online without having to manually type in all your payment details and is designed to stamp out card-related fraud, which costs Aussies more than $2 billion a year. When shopping online, you normally have to input your name, 16-digit card number, expiry date and 3-digit CVC. This can open you up to potential fraud if the retailer is hacked and those card details are stolen, plus it can be time-consuming for those needing to make quick purchases. CBA Executive General Manager of Everyday Banking, Monica Wegner, told Yahoo Finance the bank would be automatically enrolling customers into the new Click to Pay option from August. With the payment method, your details won't be shared with the online store at all. RELATED Commonwealth Bank boosts cash back, benefits for millions of customers ATO reveals highest paying jobs that don't require university degree: '$130,000 a year' CBA, NAB, ANZ reveal $200,000 move borrowers making after RBA interest rate cuts 'It's effectively, one click, select authenticate and done,' Wegner said. Once CBA customers with debit and credit cards are enrolled into the system, the bank will authenticate transactions within the CBA app. In the interim, customers will be able to authenticate transactions through a one-time code via SMS or email to complete the purchase. Under the system, your card is 'tokenised', meaning it will produce a unique token each time you pay. Wegner said 90 per cent of customers used their CommBank cards for online shopping and the move will help protect customers from fraud threats.'Our transaction data shows that card fraud rates are six times less when transactions use authenticated tokens like Click to Pay, rather than entering those details manually,' she said. 'This is something we think is both easier for our customers as well as something that will keep them a lot safer online, and protect them from fraud.' Wegner said the other benefit was cutting down the time it takes to complete transactions, something customer Magdalena Zajac said would be beneficial for her. The 42-year-old is passionate about going to concerts but has missed out on in-demand tickets in the past because it's taken her too long to input her payment and other details. 'A lot of international acts that come to Australia, they are in high demand and getting tickets is quite tricky and obviously we don't want to miss out,' she told Yahoo Finance. Wegner also confirmed the bank was looking to move to numberless debit and credit cards in the future, something Mastercard has argued would help reduce fraud. AMP became one of the first to introduce numberless cards in February for its small business and everyday banking customers. Richard Wormald, Mastercard's Australasia division president, told Yahoo Finance numberless cards meant customers would no longer need to get their card out and put their number in, but would instead go to their banking app. 'In their banking app, they can create a new card number that's actually a token behind the scenes,' he said. 'The consumer can then set it up with controls so they could say that it's only allowed to be used at this retailer, or only for the next two weeks, or only for my holiday in Japan when I'm snowboarding… then it gets deleted. 'So if the retailer gets hacked with that single-use card, it's useless. The bad actors that steal card data, they're like businesses, so they look for a return, and if they're stealing data and it's not useful, there's no value to it, they'll stop doing it.' Wormwald has said he expects Commonwealth Bank and Westpac could issue cards without numbers in the next year or two. However, a Westpac spokesperson said the bank was "yet to make a decision" on the move. Visa, which works with NAB and ANZ, also has the technology to issue numberless cards. NAB has said it is still working with the card company to see how it could roll out the development as seamlessly as possible, while ANZ said it was always looking for opportunities to protect customers against scams and fraud. More than two million Australians experienced card fraud in the 2023-24 financial year, the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data found. The total amount lost was $2.1 billion.
